If chickens could ‘henter’ the Olympics, they would ‘eggcel’ at running and hurdling according to RSPCA Assured farmers from West Sussex.
A husband and wife farming duo - Susie and Danny Mac from Ditchling - have named three of their fittest hens after top athletes: Jessica Hennis, Mo Feathah and Victoria Hendleton.
Susie said: “All our hens love running around but three of our girls are top of the pecking order when it comes to being the first to scramble out of their house in the morning and race across the range."
